Popular Post Frank Pellow Posted January 26, 2020 Popular Post Posted January 26, 2020 I discussed this project in the thread: I've now completed the first Double Dragon project (there will be more) and decided to post a photo of the completed effort here: This is a Fiona Kingdon pattern. The foreground material is thick (about 1 inch) Spalted Maple. The background is Zebra Wood vereer glued to thin Baltic Birch plywood. The whole thing was completed with three coats of a clear semi-gloss rattle-can finish. Scrappile, New Guy, Phantom Scroller and 12 others 15 Quote
Phantom Scroller Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 I prefer the light coloured wood myself . Roly Quote

JimErn Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Really beautiful work, I love the spalted maple back ground really sets it off I like the idea of high dollar wood back ground as a veneer, I've been thinking along those lines myself. What glue did you use to adhere the veneer? Did you use paper backed veneer, or ...? Quote

The veneer came from a box of 'Domestic and Exotic Veneers' that I purchased from Lee Valley Tools. Here is a link the that item: https://www.leevalley.com/en-ca/shop/tools/supplies/inlay-and-veneering/58781-domestic-and-exotic-veneer-assortments The veneer collection is expensive ($55 Canadian) but there is a very diverse collection of woods there and, so far, I have always been able to find something that works (although this is the first time I have used such a veneer in a scrollsawing project).
